Techniques used

Dr Hunt uses a number of thigh surgery techniques, depending on the areas of concern:

  • Inner (medial) thigh lift: The inside of the thighs are very difficult to shape through exercise. An inner thigh lift involves an incision along the junction between the thigh and pubic area to remove loose skin and any excess fat.
  • Outer (lateral) thigh lift: This procedure tightens the skin on the front and outside of the thigh.
  • Inner (medial) thigh lift with liposuction: This procedure tightens the skin at the top of the inner thigh, with the effects extending further down the inner thigh than a thigh lift alone.

  • A better contoured body

  • Getting rid of the excess of skin

Recovery after Thigh Lift Surgery

The recovery period after thigh lift surgery can take up to two weeks post op. During this time, make sure to take the analgesic medication to alleviate the pain and discomfort.

It is best to avoid strenuous physical activities during the first two weeks after thigh lift surgery and make sure to take time off from work to allow your body to heal. Here are more recommendations for the recovery period after thigh lift surgery:

  • Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol for at least two weeks
  • Avoid steam rooms and saunas
  • Have a healthy and balanced diet
  • Keep the incisions site clean and dry at all times
  • Keep your body hydrated

To avoid risks and complications that could occur during the recovery period make sure to follow Dr Hunt’s indications.

Thigh Lift Costs Sydney - How much does a thigh lift cost in Sydney NSW? Prices & Fees

The cost of Thigh Surgery in Sydney, Australia varies for each patient depending on the type of procedure, the results you want and the time required in theatre.

The final cost of a thigh lift is slightly different for everyone. During your consultation with Dr Hunt, your specific needs are evaluated so that you can receive an accurate surgery quotation. In some instances, a thigh lift needs to be paired with other types of surgery to achieve your desired outcome – this will alter the total cost of your procedure. Your total cost will include surgeon’s fee, anaesthetist fee, hospital fees and surgical aftercare & support.

During your initial consultation, Dr Hunt will review your medical history, perform a comprehensive assessment of your legs and body, discuss risks and provide you with an accurate cost for your thigh surgery procedure.

Does Medicare cover a Thigh Lift?

While a thigh lift is primarily seen as a cosmetic procedure, in some instances, the procedure can attract a Medicare rebate. If the excess skin and fat is causing health concerns such as rashes and is affecting the patient’s quality of life, some of the costs of a thigh lift might be covered. Another one of the conditions for a rebate is that your weight is stable for at least 6 months.

Thigh LIft FAQs

Should I have a Thigh LIft?

Answer:

If weight loss has left you with excess skin around the thigh area that no amount of exercise will shift, you are a good candidate for thigh lift surgery.

What's involved in a Thighplasty?

Answer:

Dr Hunt will perform your thighplasty under a general anaesthetic in the hospital of your choice.

He will make an incision around the top of your thigh (near your groin), before pulling the excess skin upwards, stitching it into its new position and trimming the excess. Dr Hunt will do his very best to ensure that your scar will be hidden by your swimwear or underwear.

When can I go home after surgery?

Answer:

You will stay in hospital for around three nights after your surgery. You’ll be able to go home once you are comfortable and able to get to and from a bathroom.

Once you get home, you should limit your movements to around the house for two to three days.

Will I have to return for post-operative care?

Answer:

You’ll see Dr Hunt during the first week after your surgery, and several more times over the following weeks and months.

How long will I be off work?

Answer:

You should plan on taking at least 3 weeks off work.

When can I resume my normal activities?

Answer:

You will be able to resume all activities, including exercise, around six weeks after your thigh lift surgery.

However you must not do any activities that increase your heart rate above 100 beats per minute for the first three weeks.

When will I see the end result?

Answer:

The effect of your thigh lift will be immediate, and once you remove the compression garment you’l be able to see your new shape. However, the final effect may not be apparent for a few months.
